Excellent views of the mountains / ocean from Latigo. Spectacular mountain views throughout ending with a scenic descent to Pacific Coast Highway with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean from high above before you.

Drive Enjoyment

The majority of the route is twisties and sweeping turns with elevation gains and a few blind turns. The vast majority of the road is in excellent condition, however there is a small, twisty stretch of Yerba Buena Rd that has a lot of fillings and bumps (no potholes). Take this section slowly. Also, be on the lookout for rocks and debris that may have fallen from the cliffs above, especially along Latigo Canyon Rd.

Tourism Opportunities

There are no gas stations or service stations along this route. Make sure to fill up at the gas station just before Latigo Canyon Rd prior to heading into the mountains.
